Thanks Mitchell for your support for Joe over the last few months - it has really helped to improve his confidence with his preparation for French GCSE and moved him from a struggling student to one with a chance of a very good pass at GCSE.

Helen, Parent from Leicestershire

Patrick really helped my son Daniel in Biology he was patient and made the lesson interesting. I would highly recommend Patrick in his knowledge of Biology.

Kairen, Parent from West Yorkshire

Today's secession was really helpful to me. Lucy showed me where i made mistakes in my C grade essay and how with a few changes, such as developing my A02 i could improve my grade to an A. It was really helpful talking through research evidence and evaluation points and how to link them together and to the overall essay question. Great secession as always

How is MyTutor different from school?

Lots of students say that the classes are too big in school, or that they don't have time to ask teachers after lessons. In my tutorials, we take time to explore things in a little in a bit more detail.

How do I start writing a personal statement?

I'd recommend starting by writing down all the achievements/qualifications that you think could be relevant to a personal statement. Then make a second sheet filled with all the reasons why you want to do this subject. From this you will be inspired by all the reasons you want to do study your subject which will make writing the statement far easier and your eagerness add energy to the statement. The sheets will also provide a list of things that should go in your statement and create a useful starting point for what could easily be a daunting task.

What is the genetive case?

The genetive is the case of possession so it is used instead of the word 'von' with objects that are being possessed by a subject. (such as "My mum's flowers": flowers are the object being possessed my the mum -who is the subject of this phrase)
For example:
The lady's bag: instead of die Tasche von der Frau
die Tashe der Frau ( as die becomes der in the genetive and translates to of the)
My brothers bag: instead of die Tasche von meinem Bruder
die Tasche meines Bruders (der becomes des, einer becomes eines in genetive)
So it is important to learn by heart the endings for the different cases! This comes with practice! :)

How does the circulatory system work?

This system is made up of two main components: the heart and the vasculature. The heart is an organ with two sides, each of which is dedicated to carry out a different job. The right side receives deoxygenated blood from the body and pumps it to the lungs; the left side receives oxygnated blood from the lungs and pumps it to the body. Vessels which carry blood away from the heart to the tissues are called arteries. Vessels which exist in the tissues as a place of exchange are called capillaries. Vessels which transport blood back to the heart from the body are called veins.
Each vessel type is adapted to carry out its function optimally. For instance, arteries are thick and muscular in order to deal with the high blood pressure; capillaries are one-cell thick which maximises the exchange of substances between the blood and the tissues; veins are thin-walled and contain valves in order to prevent blood from flowing backwards.

How can you tell the difference between a positive and a normative statement?

A positive statement is a statement that can be supported or refuted by evidence. For example, 'VAT is rising' is a statement that can be proved by comparing the tax rate from previous years to the current year. However, a normative statement is a value judgement. This means that they are subjective and are based on an opinion rather than actual evidence. These type of statements tend to include words like 'should', 'could', and 'unfair'.

Expand and simplify (x-7)^2

1. Write out the question fully like so:
=(x-7)(x-7)
2. Expand the brackets using the FOIL method. i.e First Outer Inner Last or the Crab Claw Method
You should get:
= x^2 - 7x - 7x + 49
Be careful with signs, remember that a negative number multiplied by a negative number makes a positive number
3. Collect terms together i.e. simplify
= x^2 - 14x + 49

Government spending is the total spending by government on all goods and services in a given period of time. Inflation is the sustained increase in the general price level over a given period of time.
Higher government spending will lead to demand-pull inflation. This is because government spending is a component of aggregate demand (AD). Assuming other determinants of AD remain constant, an increase in government spending will increase the level of AD in the economy. This means that the AD curve will shift to the right. This leads to an increase in the price level, an extension along the aggregate supply (AS) curve, and an increase in real GDP. Hence, a higher level of government spending has increased inflation, seen by the increase in the price level.
Higher government spending will lead to inflation due to the multiplier effect. The multiplier effect occurs when an initial change in an injection into the circular flow of income has a greater final impact on national income. Government spending is an injection into the circular flow of income. The government spending filters through to firms and households (e.g. through wages). They in turn spend a portion of this additional income, which flows from firms to households, and vice versa (e.g. households purchase goods and services). This process carries on with smaller and smaller amounts being added to national income as the money flows around the economy. Each additional round includes consumer expenditure and investment, which, being components of AD, shift the AD curve further right. This in turn leads to demand-pull inflation.
However, government spending will not increase inflation if there is spare capacity in the economy. If there is a negative output gap, shifts to the right of the AD curve will mean that unutilised factors of production will be used to increase real GDP, and there would be no inflationary pressure.
Whether or not higher government spending will always increase inflation depends on which school of thought is adopted. In a Keynesian AD/AS model, spare capacity in the long-run is possible, allowing for increases in AD without inflationary pressure. However, neo-classical economists would argue that in the long-run, any increase in AD will always lead to inflation, due to the nature of their AS curve being vertical. Ultimately, higher government spending is very likely to result in demand-pull inflation, but will not necessarily ‘always’ do so.
